Everything is fleeting. Nothing lasts long. I am sad. Book?

Ok so that's out of the way. Anon why are you dwelling on the past. That shit happened, leave it. Make new memories, there is so much in life to explore if you give your attention to it. Just focus on something that you like or if you don't know what you like then suicide would be great option.

Books are not the solution to this problem. Long solitary evening walks are. Trust me.

Instead of feeling sad about your happy memories, savor them, take joy in the act of remembrance, and maybe transform them into great works of art.

I've already accepted I wasted my own life but helping other people whenever I can has been a good cope. If anything its made me much less afraid of death.
